HE WAS GREATLY MISTAKEN.
A Maryland Chemist Reekoned Without
 His Host.

districts of Maryland, near the city of Washington, and am exposed to all the dangerous influences of the im- pure air and water of that region.
 Being naturally of a strong consti- tuition, I had frequently boasted that no chills and fever or other malarious complaint would ever trouble me.
 This was my experience and the condition in which I found myself six months ago. first noticed that did not feel so sprightly and vigorous as was my wont to do. I felt tired and enervated. Soon noticed distinct and distressing backache would make it's appearance in the afternoon, in- creasing in severity if the exercise was more than usually violent. Then a stretchy feeling with profuse gaping made its appearance. Then my head, always clear as a bell, would feel heavy, and l began to have headaches.
 The cold stage was marked with chattering of the teeth, severe rigors passed over me, and no amount of clothing could keep me warm. The chill was succeeded in turn by the fever, ill which I seemed to be burn ing up, the congestion in my head produced violent pain in the frontal portion and heated sensation of the eyelids, with an indescribable aching of the lower limbs. Nausea and vom- iting occurred with severe retchings. and when the paroxysms passed off I was thoroughly prostrated by weak ness that was felt in every part of me.
 drugged myself with quinine, and obtained some relief. But my respite was of brief duration. was now SO much reduced that I could hardly walk or stand upright. My disease soon eliminated in a continued mala- rial fever which kept me closely con- fined for about week. became ex- ceedingly depressed and melancholy. so much so that 1 lost interest in my work, and, indeed, scarcely cared what happened to me.
 During all this time it must be un- derstood that I did not neglect medi- cal treatment. All the most powerful remedies were tried, such as liquid arsenate of potash, valeriante of iron. mercury, bromide of potassium, chlo- ride of bismuth, chinoidine, chinco- india, quinine and several others All this did under the advice of emi- nent physicians.
 1t was while was in this deplora- ble condition that the claims made for kaskine, the new quinine, as a spe- cific for malaria, were first brought to my attention. knew nothing of it's value to justify my having any conf- dence ill it, but as everything else had failed, deemed it my duty to try it. so l began its use, and its prompt and radical effects were of the nature of a. revelation to me. Many people may think the statement scarcely credible but it is fact that after only few days use of Kaskine, all the leading symptoms in my case were decidedly abated or ceased altogether; and in a few weeks from the time took the first dose was cured.
 This was about the first of January, and since then I have experienced no recurrence of the malarial symptoms in any form. A remedy of such ex- ceptional virtue for the cure of ma- laria ought to be commended and universally made known. I have therefore urged it upon the attention of my friends, several of whom have used it with like good results in every case, and it is with the greatest pleas ure and sincerity that commend Kas- kline to sufferers from malaria every where.
